CHARLIE WAS SEALED IN A BUCKET AS 'TRASH'

On the evening of Thursday, Dec. 13th, one of our staff members found a suspicious bucket on the street corner near our shelter, next to the public garbage bin. When we brought the bucket inside and pried off the lid, we found a terrified cat inside. And this wasn't the first time: less than a month earlier, we found another cat abandoned inside a similar bucket, who we named Sage.

Sage has since been adopted and the second cat, who we've named Charlie, is safely in our care. We have security footage of both incidents and are working closely with the authorities to identify this person. While the police focus on the investigation, our priority is making certain that Charlie receives the medical care, compassion and rehabilitation that follow such a traumatizing ordeal. We are awaiting results from Charlie's comprehensive vet exam and, needless to say, Charlie will need significant socialization and emotional care.

If you would like to support Charlie's care, please consider making a donation.
